“The maternity session freezes in time the beauty of a moment that will last forever, a tangible reminder of the love growing inside you.”

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paloma for my maternity photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Paloma's style of photography perfectly captured the beauty and emotion of this special time in my life. I felt comfortable and relaxed during the shoot, which I believe is reflected in the stunning final images. I highly recommend Paloma to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer in Houston, Texas.

FAQ
Are the clothes included in the photo session? What kind of clothes should I wear for the maternity session?
I recommend wearing clothes that highlight your belly, such as fitted dresses, tops, and pants. After booking, I'll provide a detailed guide to help you choose outfits that create a harmonious, cohesive look for the session. My photography style is modern, natural, and minimalist, with a focus on the mother-to-be. The best part is that most of the clothes I suggest are likely already in your wardrobe, so there’s no need to invest in pieces you won’t use again.
Although we don’t provide clothing for the session, rest assured that our guide offers all the inspiration you need to find perfect, stylish pieces right from your closet. The recommended outfits are usually basic items and lingerie, easy to find at home. Additionally, all the clothes worn by the pregnant women in my portfolio belong to the clients themselves, demonstrating that the selections are simple yet elegant.
Can I include my partner and children in the maternity photos?
Yes, you have two options. The first is to choose the Luxe package, which already includes photos with your partner and children. The other option is to book the Petit package and add family photos for an additional $50 per person.
Where will the session take place?
Sessions are held in my fully-equipped studio in Katy, specifically designed to provide comfort for both babies and expectant mothers.
How can I prepare for the session?
After booking, you will receive a guide with all the necessary information to better prepare for the session, ensuring no doubts remain.
How do I schedule a session?
You can check my online calendar and select an available date that best fits your schedule.
How will the payments be made?
At the time of booking, you will pay 50% of the session value to guarantee the date on the calendar. After the session, you will receive a proof gallery with the best photos to choose from. Only after the selection will we send an invoice with the session balance, including the remaining 50%, family additions, extra photos, and products, if you have purchased any.
What is the delivery time and format of the images?
Within five days after your session, you'll receive a proof gallery with watermarked, unedited images to select from. You have two weeks to choose your favorites, after which I'll send the invoice for the remaining balance within 48 hours. Final, fully edited high-resolution images (in JPG format, without watermarks) will be delivered via an online gallery. My commitment is to have your final edited images to you within 10 days at most, although 99% of galleries are delivered within 48 hours. I limit my sessions to 3 per week to ensure quality and timely delivery. As a mother, I understand the importance of timely photos for expecting and new moms. Please note that delivery times for albums or frames may vary depending on the supplier.
How is the photo editing process, and what does it include?
The photo editing process is approached with care and dedication, treating each image as a work of art. Each edit takes 20 to 30 minutes, focusing on advanced skin retouching, body contour enhancement, and optional slimming adjustments to elegantly highlight your beauty. While care and dedication are top priorities, I also understand the excitement of receiving the final images. That’s why the entire process is planned to ensure that the fully edited photos are delivered within two weeks, combining exceptional quality with timely delivery.
Do you offer photo albums or other products?
Yes, we offer a variety of products such as photo albums, canvas prints, frames, and more. We can discuss these options during the session or after the photo selection.

Professional Prints
Technology has provided us with many conveniences, but it has also led to a decline in the practice of displaying photos around the house or in family albums. While technology continues to evolve, there is always the risk of obsolescence or failure. Printed photographs offer a tangible representation of our memories. This is why printed products are so valuable. When we invest time and money in a photoshoot and store the images only in digital format, it's akin to purchasing a beautiful painting and never putting it on display.

Your pregnancy is a powerful chapter worth remembering with care, art, and beauty. At Paloma Schell Portraits, we offer intimate maternity photography sessions for mothers in Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Richmond, Cypress, Memorial, River Oaks, Bellaire, and Fulshear. In our private studio, we focus on natural light, minimalism, and gentle posing to create portraits that reflect your strength, glow, and connection with your baby.
